La Cage Aux Folles (Original Cast Recording)

[Georges, spoken]
And now, once again, my friends, the inevitable is upon us
It is time for us to end our little show, for all the pieces that have flown apart to come together
Messieurs, dames
La Cage aux Folles proudly presents our finale!
Maestro, if you please!
[Les Cagelles, sung]
Aaaah, aaaah
Aaaah, aaaah
Aaaaaaah
[Georges]
Life is a celebration with you on my arm
Walking's a new sensation with you on my arm
Each time I face some morning that's boring and bland
With you it looks good
With you it looks great
With you it looks grand!
[Les Cagelles]
With you it looks grand
[Georges & Les Cagelles]
Somehow, you've put a permanent star in my eye
Even the dead of winter can feel like July
I found a combination that works like a charm
It's suddenly "ooh"
It's suddenly "la"
Whenever it's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
[All]
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la
You come alone to have the evening of your life
You meet you mistress and your boyfriend, and your wife
The joy's contagious
You can bring your whole
Outrageous entourage, outrageous entourage
Outrageous entourage
It's hot and hectic
Effervescent and eclectic
At La Cage aux Folles!
[Albin]
Though the time tumbles by
There is one thing that I am forever certain of
I hear
La-Da-Da-Da
Da-Da-Da
[Georges]
La-Da-Da-Da
La-Da-Da
Da-Da-Da
[Both]
And I'm young and in love
[All]
The best of times is now
What's left of summer
But a faded rose?
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow
Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love
As hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now
Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love
As hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now, is now, is now
